Do-ahead and delicious, this dessert is a favorite because of its pretty color, creamy texture and terrific flavor. A light, no-bake filling makes it easy. Try garnishing with fresh berries and sprigs of mint. —Julianne Johnson Grove City, Minnesota

This is a fantastic dessert that I've made quite a few times. It always turns out great. I substituted strawberries because I like them better than raspberries and used Splenda because my husband is diabetic. It figures out to about 12 carbs per serving, so you get a lot of dessert for just a few carbs.
